The devil is a liar by Daniel Yohanna

John 8:44 (NIV)
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

This well-known phrase is often employed when rejecting any attack from the devil. It is however pertinent to note that just quipping that the devil is liar makes no difference, to you or the devil. It’s like saying, “The sky is blue!” Though it is a fact that the devil is a liar – and the father of lies, for that matter – just realizing that doesn’t free you from the devil’s clutch.
The devil does not have the ability to speak the truth, in much the same way that God cannot lie (Tit.1:2; Heb. 6:17). Anything satan tells you is a lie. Lies are consistent with his character. It’s his native language. Broda Martyns sang a song years back titled in pidgin, "Devil na liar number one." No one can beat him at this game. I know Pastor Chris Delvan humorously said the way some Christians lie, even the devil on hearing would shout "The Blood of Jesus!" Yet, the truth is, the devil is the father of lies.
We see his first antics displayed in the Garden of Eden, when he tried to twist the truth of God’s word by telling them “You shall not surely die…” (Gen. 3:5), in direct contradiction of what God had said to Adam in Gen. 2:17 that he would surely die if he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The word of God is the truth (John 17:17). Anything that contradicts God’s word is a lie of the devil.
Have you ever believed a lie? You were convinced it was the truth and acted on your conviction only to discover later that you were deceived, just like Adam and Eve found out, albeit too late. Don’t live with the lies of the devil. The Bible describes activities as lying vanities.

Jonah 2:8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Anytime he confronts you with his lies, respond with the truth of God's word. "Say the truth and shame the devil!"
When the devil tells you that you will die, find out the truth from God’s word that says you shall not die but live. Every problem and affliction is a lie of the devil. Don’t buy into his lies.
Has the devil told you that you would not amount to anything? Respond with the truth of God’s word that you are the blessed of the Lord (Deut 7:14; Eph 1:3).
Every time the devil shot his arrows in Jesus’ direction, Jesus responded with, “It is written…” (Matt. 4:1-13)
The reason Jesus came was to destroy the works of the devil (1John 3:8) by bearing witness to the truth (John 18:37). When you know this truth, and walk in the light of it, you will be live completely free from every onslaught of the devil (John 8:32).
Our desire is that in our Ministry, we will build and establish people on the truth of God’s Word, so they can experience total liberty in every aspect of their lives
